Late Ramesside Letters

Edward F. Wente.

Rofessor Jaroslav Cerny's Late Ramesside Letters, published in 1939 as Volume IX of "Bibliotheca Aegyptiaca," made available to students of Late Egyptian a series of letters which are philologically and historically significant. To date, no translation and commentary for this entire group of letters has appeared in print. The present study represents an attempt to fill temporarily this lacuna and to stimulate criticism so that eventually a more masterful treatment of this correspondence may be forthcoming.
